EDUCATION IS AN INVESTMENT
We understand that a college education is a huge investment of time and money by students and their families. The faculty and staff of Arkansas Tech University strive to ensure that the student’s path to graduation and success beyond is as smooth and straight as possible.
STUDENT SUCCESS
ATU WORKS HARD TO ENSURE YOUR STUDENT'S SUCCESS
With an 18 to 1 student to instructor ratio, ATU’s faculty has the time and resources to provide personal attention to students. Free tutoring is available for a variety of classes and freshmen can find mentors.
Students can also meet one-on-one with an academic coach, a free program that helps students develop a customized strategy for success. The academic advising center can offer that same personalized experience in planning your student’s class schedule.
WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO SUCCEED BEYOND THE CLASSROOM TOO
Career Services
Career services programs can help students land the job or internship that can make all the difference on a resumé, and numerous leadership programs help shape a student’s future as a mover and shaker after graduation.
On Track
The On Track program offers guidance in that most important of skills — networking. And it can pay off big time for students who complete all tracks with an after-graduation trip.
THEIR SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS
All of this is why Arkansas Tech University was ranked the No 1 college for upward social mobility in Arkansas and why we have alumni working in 35 different countries around the world. Students are more than just a number at Arkansas Tech University.

With a public safety division on 24-hour campus patrol; an onsite clinic that can provide prescriptions, immunizations, and screenings; and St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center minutes away our campus is designed to give you peace of mind. We’re also vigilant with the Care Team, a multidisciplinary proactive campus-threat assessment and behavioral intervention team through which students can alert staff of any concerns on campus.
